1. Controversial Technology
Description The student will research and write a 3000 word paper, double spaced, APA
formatted paper on a controversial issue that involves technology. For example, many new
officers utilize social media including Facebook, My Space and Twitter. As a law
enforcement manager, what are the implications (strengths and weaknesses) of social
media? Could the use of social media create potential policy violations? Does your agency
have a policy on social media? Other examples include the collection of DNA (proposition
69), drones, body-worn cameras or the use of electronic devices on combative suspects. It is
up to you on the topic, but it must be controversial. Thoroughly summarize the technology
or issue and provide an introduction to the technology (history and use of technology). The
research paper should compare and contrast the controversial issue and its impact on all
stakeholders, including the public. The paper should also assess the limitations, strengths
and potential of technology relative to your controversial issue. Finally, the paper must
highlight the role of a public safety manager and how the technology can help or hurt the
delivery of services to the public. The research paper shall have a minimum of ten (10)
references including at least one internet source.#Controversial #Technology
